Description: The Mimic Tang originates from the Indo-Pacific. As a juvenile, this tang is a bright, solid yellow color to mimic the Heraldi Angel; however, as they mature they will turn more light brown. This Tang may show aggression to other tangs. This fish will appreciate ample swimming room, rock, and seaweed along with meaty foods. A UV Sterilizer and Protein Skimmer are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED as tangs are especially prone to disease. Feeding Vitamin C everyday will help with disease prevention.
